Helloooo and welcome back ?!?!?!

I have been absent for quite some time due too.... fill out the dotted line. Anyway I am 'back' now and hope I can keep you updated on interesting, nice, new, funky, catchy, yummy and to-cool-to-be-true kitchen tools, gadgets, chinaware, foods, restaurants etc... Starting with:

Yesterday I had a nice rendez-vous with my dear friend Tally. Since she moved to Spain already a long time ago, it is always very nice to see her again. So I made a reservation at a somewhat 'new' restaurant in Amsterdam. I had never been there before, neither had she so it was all new and NICE! Interesting detail: the restaurant's name is in French but their kitchen is Italian.

Although the majority of the staff was on sick leave, which left them with only 3 people available, everybody was still friendly, no stress and actually it was not really noticeable. I was quite impressed by that, since we all know that good service can be hard to find in Amsterdam...

The food was great, we had pear ravioli and sea bass and a wonderful dessert, you can see the picture below ;-) it is chocolate fondant with a liquid center (yummy!!) and a sambuca-espresso semifreddo also delish!!!

So whenever you are in Amsterdam, make sure to give this place a try (make sure to make a reservation!!)

Liquids are one of the three chemical phase states that matter is found in. Whether a substance manifests as a solid, a Liquid or a gas depends upon how tightly packed its molecules are to one another; this, in turn, frequently depends upon the temperature. In a solid, molecules are tightly bound to one another; in a Liquid, they are bound firmly but not densely, which gives them the ability to flow; in a gas, molecules have few if any bonds to one another. liquid diet

I love to use these and when we go We had the seabass & lobster ravioli as well as the Greek salad and a pizza. Everything was great as was the service. Chris did an excellent job bringing everything out very quickly. We did not wait for anything. The Caesar salad was very good as well. read more

About Me

A life without nice food or drinks, for me, is not worth living. I can get sooo happy from food. Always trying new things, new tastes and I especially appreciate home made food. The old recipes, when food was still made with real butter, real meat from animals that have really lived, real tasty fruits and vegetables and most important recipes with seasonal products. I truly think that we've gone a bit too far thinking that diet products can solve our overweight problem. It's all about going back to the old days where food was still real and no artificial products were added. So feel free to share your best kept recipe from grandma with me!
